He's "crawling" now. We call it his "Dead Legs Crawl", and it may not be a full-fledged crawl, but he's completely mobile and getting stuck everywhere he shouldn't be.

Here's another video of him in his jumperoo. He appears to have an issue with always jumping to the right (his left). Perhaps his right leg is too long.As you can also see in the video, he's a very calm and quiet kid.

While I try to keep my political opinions off of this blog, what happened last night must be mentioned.

Though Max is too young to understand the immense importance of the election of the first black president, it is a event that will shape our country and change the world that Max will proudly grow up in. Last night, before going to bed, I went into Max's room to say goodnight. As I held him, the enormity of the situation hit me. We have truly changed the world. And we did it for him.

Regardless of politics, I think we can all agree that what happened last night is an enormous step in the right direction for us, Max's generation, and the generations that will follow.

We are extremely proud to be Americans! Continue to make us proud Mr. Obama.

This blog was first started as a way of keeping our family and friends up to date when Bobbie Jo became pregnant with our son Max in 2007. It has continued as a place to post pictures, videos, and details of our family adventures.

In the time that we have been posting here it has been incredible looking back at past entries. I can't imagine what it will be like to look back in 20 years at what we were thinking now. I think that this "online diary" will be a priceless gift that we can pass on to Max and Lily as a record of their lives.
